Course Update – December
Published on 20th December 2024 in Course NewsIn a blink of an eye it’s that time of year again, it’s hard to believe another year has just flown by. Looking back it’s probably been the hardest 12 months but it’s rewarding when we come out the other side with the course responding like it has and everything starting to come together again nicely. The 10th green project is currently in the grow in phase, at this stage we still have our eye on an opening date around the 18th of January but we will keep you posted on the progress as we get closer to the date.
This time of year the focus is on getting the course through the festive period with the hotter weather and the usual howling easterlies keeping us on our toes – unfortunately its also that time of year when its hard to keep on top of the leaves which litter the course. With all the regular blowing, sweeping and mulching it still proves to be a handful to make any real long lasting impact. After the Christmas period our attention quickly turns to the Australia Day weekend with plenty of maintenance scheduled in the lead up to this event .
Upcoming Scheduled Maintenance
6th January: Fairway Granular Fertiliser Application, Topdress Tee’s & Approaches
13th January: Greens Spiking & Soil Amendments – All day 9 hole closures in place.
Fairway & Tee Wetting Agent Applications
16th-20th January: Bunker Edging and clean up
18th January: Tentative Opening of the 10th TBA
20th January: Fairway Foliar applications
As is always the case, plenty going on that will keep us occupied over the next month, Hope everyone has a great Christmas and all the best for the New Year.
